We prove a quadratic sparse domination result for general non-integral square functions $S$. That is, we prove an estimate of the form \begin{equation*} \int_{M} (S f)^{2} g \, \mathrm{d}\mu \le c \sum_{P \in \mathcal{S}}…

In this paper we study the following problem: for a given bounded positive function $f$ on a filtered probability space can we find another function (a multiplier) $m$, $0\le m\le 1$, such that the function $mf$ is not ``too small'' but its…

Let $\alpha:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ be a measurable function. It was proved by P. Marchal \cite{Mar15} that the function $$ \phi^{(\alpha)}(\lambda):=\exp\left[ \int_0^1\frac{\lambda-1}{1+(\lambda-1)x}\,\alpha(x)\,d x \right],\quad \lambda>0 $$ is…

For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…

Let $\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$ be the class of smooth non-flat curves near the origin and near infinity previously introduced by the second author and let $\gamma\in\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$. We show - via a unifying approach relative to the…

We show that a function $ f $ of bounded variation satisfies $$ \Var Mf \leq C \Var f $$ where $ Mf $ is the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of $ f $. Consequently, the operator $ f \mapsto (Mf)' $ is bounded from $ W^{1,1}(R) $…

The paper is devoted to two-weight estimates for the fractional maximal operators $\mathcal{M}^\alpha$ on general probability spaces equipped with a tree-like structure. For given $1<p\leq q<\infty$, we study the sharp universal upper bound…

In the problem of optimal investment with utility function defined on $(0,\infty)$, we formulate sufficient conditions for the dual optimizer to be a uniformly integrable martingale. Our key requirement consists of the existence of a…

In this paper we solve an open problem concerning the characterization of those measurable sets $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{2d}$ that, among all sets having a prescribed Lebesgue measure, can trap the largest possible energy fraction in…

We study pointwise convergence of the fractional Schr\"odinger means along sequences $t_n$ which converge to zero. Our main result is that bounds on the maximal function $\sup_{n} |e^{it_n(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}} f| $ can be deduced from those…

This is the final part of a series of papers where we study perturbations of divergence form second order elliptic operators $-\operatorname{div} A \nabla$ by first and zero order terms, whose complex coefficients lie in critical spaces,…

We study the two-times differentiability of the value functions of the primal and dual optimization problems that appear in the setting of expected utility maximization in incomplete markets. We also study the differentiability of the…

Let $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $p\in(0,\infty)$. For a finite dimensional quasi-normed space $X=(\mathbb{R}^m, \|\cdot\|_X)$, let $$B_p^n(X) = \Big\{ (x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in\big(\mathbb{R}^{m}\big)^n: \ \sum_{i=1}^n \|x_i\|_X^p \leq 1\Big\}.$$ We…

Let $\{T_t\}_{t>0}$ be a strongly continuous semigroup of positive contractions on $L_p(X,\mu)$ with $1<p<\infty$. Let $E$ be a UMD Banach lattice of measurable functions on another measure space $(\Omega,\nu)$. For $f\in L_p(X; E)$ define…

In this paper, we derive new properties of the Mertens function and discuss a likely upper bound of the absolute value of the Mertens function $\sqrt{\log{x!}}>|M(x)|$ when $x>1$. Using this likely bound we show that we have a sufficient…

A tight upper bound is given on the distribution of the maximum of a supermartingale. Specifically, it is shown that if $Y$ is a semimartingale with initial value zero and quadratic variation process $[Y,Y]$ such that $Y + [Y,Y]$ is a…

We study the size of the set of points where the $\alpha$-divided difference of a function in the H\"older class $\Lambda_\alpha$ is bounded below by a fixed positive constant. Our results are obtained from their discrete analogues which…

We study the elliptic maximal functions defined by averages over ellipses and rotated ellipses which are multi-parametric variants of the circular maximal function. We prove that those maximal functions are bounded on $L^p$ for some $p\neq…
